--description--

Previously you used the following code to declare a variable:

var myName;

But you can also declare a string variable like this:

var myName = "your name";

"your name" is called a string literal. A string literal, or string, is a series of zero or more characters enclosed in single or double quotes.

--instructions--

Create two new string variables: myFirstName and myLastName and assign them the values of your first and last name, respectively.

--hints--

myFirstName should be a string with at least one character in it.

assert(
  (function () {
    if (
      typeof myFirstName !== 'undefined' &&
      typeof myFirstName === 'string' &&
      myFirstName.length > 0
    ) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  })()
);

myLastName should be a string with at least one character in it.

assert(
  (function () {
    if (
      typeof myLastName !== 'undefined' &&
      typeof myLastName === 'string' &&
      myLastName.length > 0
    ) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  })()
);
